5 Super Comfy Bike Seats for Longer Bicycle Rides.

A super comfy bike seat can help to alleviate some of the sustained pressure being directed onto your bum and nether region when riding your bicycle. Without some form of cushioning or protection such as you might get from padded cycling shorts or a super comfy bike seat, your bottom and nether regions can become sore and the skin can become irritated making for an uncomfortable ride, which can lead to saddle sores.

What are Saddle Sores?

There are four main types of saddle sore to watch out for and these are:

1. Chafing: this is the most common and least troublesome form or saddle sore, arising from your spinning thighs rubbing against the bicycle seat with each wheel rotation.
2. Ulcerations: This is where the top layer of skin gets worn away due to chaffing or the pressure of the saddle and this leaves you at risk of bacterial infection.
3. Furuncles: These are boils which develop around an infected hair follicle.
4. Folliculitus: This is infectionn or inflammation hair follicle, creating a pimple.

Saddles sore can be minimized by wearing padded cycling shorts, alternating seating position and standing while riding and by using a super comfy bike seat.

What Features to Look for in a Comfy Bike Seat?

1. Wide. This helps to spread the weight around your posterior making for a more comfortable ride with reduced saddle pressure.
2. Waterproof. Wet saddles that absorb moisture act like a sponge and will saturate your rear, increasing the chance of chaffing. This may take the form of a water repel surface or the saddle may come with a waterproof raincover.
3. Airflow hole. Increases breathability
4. Reflective stripes. Providing enhanced visibilty to motorists and other road users
5. Memory foam construction. Proving to be one of the most comfortable cushioning materials on the market.
